Individualization in Social Work with Family – Blaming Victims

Alena Vysloužilová, Pavel Navrátil


Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: The main objective of the article is to (critically) reflect the modernization of social processes with regard to their possible impacts on social work with the family. THEORETICAL BASE: The article is based on the theory of modernization contained in the works of J. Keller, Z. Bauman, U. Beck and A. Giddens. METHODS: Content analysis was used of foreign texts and publications devoted to issues of individualization and social work with families. OUTCOMES: The process of individualisation affects the focus of social work with the family. Particularly important is the orientation towards the social and legal protection of children. SOCIAL WORK IMPLICATIONS: The described transformations of social work with families can help one to understand the shift away from social work with families, based on the perception of the family as a system tending towards a more individualistic orientation. At the same time, the article tries to point out the possible risks associated with neglecting the importance of family and community bonds.

Keywords:
